One die-hard Mets fan is letting his t-shirt designs do the talking.

Out of his print studio in Jamaica, Queens, 30-year old Darren Meenan runs "The 7 Line," a company bringing humor to the Mets franchise that's made many fans want to cry.

Meenan began designing and printing his own Mets-themed t-shirts a year ago. He now spends up to 20 hour days printing, packing and shipping his shirts to fans all over the world.

Meenan says he's always at Citi Field cheering on his favorite team and brought his love for the game to his business.

"Figured it would be a good way for me to just be creative and do something for the other diehard fans like myself, who are still at the stadium even though they aren't playing that well and it took off," said Meenan. "I made one shirt an 'I survived' shirt and that's what started the whole brand."

Meenan says his shirts are "for the fans, by the fans."

He calls the team's selection of a new minority investor a small step in the right direction, but that it won't mean much if the team doesn't hang on to star players like Jose Reyes.

Meenan's most popular shirt right now features a plea to keep the shortstop.

"We have to keep Reyes, he's such a spark plug for the team, he's great in the clubhouse, he's one of the faces of the franchise," Meenan said.

Other popular t-shirt designs include “I Miss Shea,” “I Like Ike" and "Stop Losing."
